Tony, Thanks for responding to my post. I have to agree with you on the new Coldplay album. Started listening and like Princess of China, as a song, but was hard to listen to on my Martin's . Sound was overly loud and bass was ridiculous. Had to turn my receiver down a bit to make it...

Update: 4/13/2012 Recalibrated and spoke with some audio people from Magnolia home theater. I have been working with them to get my home theater where I want it. The guy I spoke with asked me to check my sound output setting on my PS3 (which is what IM using for my bluray player). After hours...

Chess, Not sure if you've bought your stands yet, but I'm a new Motion series owner and was in the same situation. I have my tv in a bay window and couldn't wall mount my motion 4's and wanted a stand for them. For me, the Sanus stands worked great. Here is a link to them at BestBuy. Not sure...

Im new to Martin Logan and the whole speaker set up thing. I just bought a set of Martin Logan motion 4's for my two fronts and my center is the motion 8. I have a 65 inch Mitsubishi DLP HD TV betweent the two 4's and the center sitting on my entertainment center in front of it. Trying to...

I recently bought a set of motion 4's for my front two speakers and I bought the motion 8 center on Friday and still found that the dialogue was lacking. I've turned up the level on the center to try and improve my situation, but it really only made a minimal difference. When they were demoing...

I bought the motion 8 on Friday and still found that the dialogue was lacking. I've turned up the level on the center to try and improve my situation, but it really only made a minimal difference. When they were demoing the speaker for me in store (BestBuy), it sounded amazing and made a huge...

Invenio, I'm not sure what the problem is actually. All I know is that dialgoue is weak and not impressing me much. I just bought the receiver a month ago, so don't have money to turn around and replace it. I was told that the Pioneer elite should be fine with what I'm running. Any settings...

rblum, Thanks for all your help and suggestions about the center speaker. I bought the motion 8 on Friday and still found that the dialogue was lacking. I've turned up the level on the center to try and improve my situation, but it really only made a minimal difference. When they were...

projectmovielover, Please let me know if you can find me anything budget friendly as far as a motion 8 center speaker is concerned. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get one soon since I want my home theatre to be fully upgraded and working soon. I already have the motion...

rblum, Again, I appreciate your feedback and support. I've heard of some stores price matching at the $299 mark for the motion 8 center speaker. Right now I have an old Yamaha center and trying to make do until I can purchase the motion 8. Movies just sound ok right now, but are better since...

RAH, Thanks for the feedback. I've heard the run-in (or break in) time is about 72 hours. I'm pretty sure I'm past that now that I've had the speakers for about two weeks. Things are working fine, just unsure of when I'll know I hit that magic moment where everything sounds its best.

rblum, Thanks for the insight into my center speaker dilema. I am on a tight budget right now and was lucky to be able to pick up a new receiver and the motion 4's. I too think the emc2 would be awesome, but out of my price range right now. I'm thinking I will end up with the motion 8 most...

Thanks everyone for the responses. Like I said, trying to boost my home theatre system and fell in love with Martin Logan in the process. I use the motion 4's for my main front speakers. Those were outside my budget, but wanted them so badly. So, don't think I will be moving them to the back...

Total newbie here in every sense of the word, but saw you mention the Eagles and was interested. I have thier greatest hits album (eagle skull on the cover) and love every song on it. Just bought motion 4 Logans and can't say enough great things about what they produce. I was going through...

I'm new to Martin Logan and just starting out. I am updating my home theatre sound system and trying to get the most out of my new speakers and receiver. I bought my first pair of Martin Logan speakers a week ago and am very happy. However, as I piece my home theatre system together I'm...
